[The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines reminds Chinese citizens coming to the Philippines to guard against being lured, kidnapped and extorted] On September 28, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines reminded Chinese citizens coming to the Philippines to guard against being lured, kidnapped and extorted. Recently, the Philippine police have cracked many kidnapping and extortion cases against Chinese citizens, successfully rescued the victims and arrested the suspects. Related gangs mainly commit crimes against young Chinese citizens traveling alone. The suspects usually get to know the victims through the Internet, or pretend to be their acquaintances, invite them to come to the Philippines in the name of tourism, business, etc., and actively arrange air tickets and accommodation for them. After the victim arrived in the Philippines, the suspect picked him up and took him to a secret location. He then restricted his personal freedom, detained his passport, mobile phone and personal belongings, and extorted ransom from his family. Some victims also faced the risk of human trafficking. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines once again solemnly reminds Chinese citizens coming to or in the Philippines to increase their awareness of prevention, remain highly vigilant against similar online invitations, and do not accept air tickets or accommodation arrangements provided by strangers, nor disclose their itinerary and identity information to people they meet online to avoid kidnapping and extortion, or even more serious consequences.
